Power Lords Return! Official Press Release

“The Mayan year 13.0.0.0.0 has begun. As foretold in 669 AD by the famous prophecy carved into Monument 6 in the Mayan site of Tortuguero, this date signals the return of the “Bolon Yokte Ku” — The Nine Lords of Power. It is therefore, with great reverence, that the Four Horsemen of the Toypocalypse hereby proclaim the return of the Nine Power Lords and reveal the identity of a Tenth who dwells among us and has the power to save us all.”

Four Horsemen Toy Design Studios are proud to announce the return of Power Lords: The Extra-Terrestrial Warriors action figure line!

It’s been 30 years since world-renowned sci-fi artist Wayne Douglas Barlowe originally designed the groundbreaking Power Lords toy line released by Revell. Four Horsemen Toy Design have acquired the Power Lords license and signed Wayne Barlowe as a creative consultant to help bring the Power Lords back in action figure form.

Getting to work with Barlowe on the much-anticipated return of Power Lords has been the culmination of a life-long dream for Four Horsemen co-founder Eric Treadaway. Four Horsemen Studios are currently hard at work creating the new Power Lords prototypes that will be revealed during the Power Lords-themed Toypocalypse 3 Art Exhibit occurring in New York at TT Underground in February during New York Toy Fair 2013.

To get updates about upcoming figures and events as well as a complete history and our ever-growing archival galleries for Power Lords please keep checking PowerLordsReturn.com!

Four Horsemen Toy Design Studios proudly present the return of the Official Power Lords Fan Club

Final details and sign-up to coincide with our TT Underground show in February. The Fan club is slated to include the following participation levels:

Four Horsemen studios are excited to announce the third Toypocalypse show running from Sunday, February 10th – Wednesday, February 13th with a special opening on Saturday, February 9th from 7:00 – 10:00 PM. The show will celebrate the Studios’ newest license: Power Lords the Extra Terrestrial Warriors. We will be debuting all-new Power Lords prototypes and displaying an archival history of the brand. The show will also highlight new reveals for Four Horsemen created properties, Outer Space Men, and some surprises.

With the popularity of last years’ Outer Space Men custom show we’ve decided to follow up this year with a Power Lords invitational art show. We will be inviting professionals as well as all fans to participate in the show. Either 2-D or 3-D submissions will be accepted. We will need applications returned and dimensions of your piece by Friday, January 18th, and the piece in our possession by Friday February 1st. Applications will be available on PowerLordsReturn.com on January 2nd.

[…] and what the new toys would be like popped up on sites and forums. Well, today we know that Power Lords are returning thanks to the work of toy sculpting masters Four Horsemen. You can read the official press release […]

Was a casual fan of the Power Lords figures back in the day – very innovative designs, and they definitely looked a lot more bizarre (in a good way) than the at-the-time more popular MOTU figures.

However, I’m really looking forward to these new PL figures, especially since the Four Horsemen will be involved – hopefully we’ll get some prototype pictures soon; also I’d be interested to know if these will be sold @ retail stores (TRU, Wal-mart, Target, etc.) or exclusively online (like the current MOTU Classics line)….
